Did you know that Florida is home to biting midges, also known as "no-see-ums"? These tiny insects pack a powerful bite, often causing itchy, red welts on their victims. Despite their small size, they can be a major nuisance, especially during dawn and dusk. Biting midges are attracted to CO2 and body heat, making humans prime targets. They thrive in warm, humid environments and are particularly common near water sources like marshes and lakes. While their bites can be annoying, they also play a role in the ecosystem by pollinating plants. Have you ever encountered these pesky insects?
